  • Home Guard: the Forces to Meet the Expected French Invasions / 1
    The Napoleon Series Home Guard: 1805 HOME GUARD: THE FORCES TO MEET THE EXPECTED FRENCH INVASION / 1 SEPTEMBER 1805 The Peace of Amiens lasted 14 months, until Britain declared war on France on 18 May 1803. Napoleon turned his attention to invading England, saying: "All my thoughts are directed towards England. I want only for a favourable wind to plant the Imperial Eagle on the Tower of London." He started to assemble an expeditionary force at Boulogne. The invasion scare started in the middle of 1803. In the next six months, the British government's call for volunteers to resist an invasion was met with a massive response; within a few weeks 280,000 men had volunteered, and the government was unprepared for this numbers of volunteers. The Invasion Scare lasted for roughly two years. Britain’s ‘Home Guard’ of an earlier era watched the coast of France nervously as the Emperor Napoleon assembled a vast armed camp centred on Boulogne, and named them the ‘Army of England’. On 26 August 1805, in response to dramatically changing political events in the east, the Emperor Napoleon ordered Marechal Berthier to send the newly-christened Grande Armèe on a line of march eastwards, ultimately towards Ulm, Vienna and the foggy hills of Austerlitz. Some 180,000 French troops left Boulogne. The Invasion Scare was over. The British Army to repel such an invasion, had it come, was as follows. Many of the General Officers were tasked with commanding the numerous Militia and Volunteer units, and seemingly often held multiple commands. This article, drawn from wide variety of articles and not all of a common date, presents as close a picture as can be discovered of the organisation and location of the regulars, militia and volunteers in the week Napoleon turned east.

  • English Coast Defences
    ENGLISH COAST DEFENCES GEORGE CLINCH PART I ENGLISH COAST DEFENCES PREHISTORIC CAMPS Round the coast of England there are many prehistoric earthworks of great extent and strength. These fall generally under the heads of hill-top fortresses and promontory camps. The works comprised under the former head are so arranged as to take the greatest possible advantage of natural hill-tops, often of large size. On the line where the comparatively level top developed into a more or less precipitous slope a deep ditch was dug, and the earth so removed was in most cases thrown outwards so as to form a rampart which increased the original difficulties of the sloping hill-side. The latter type of earthwork, called promontory camps from their natural conformation, were strengthened by the digging of a deep ditch, so as to cut off the promontory from the main table-land from which it projected, and in some cases the sides of the camp were made more precipitous by artificial scarping. An examination of these types of earthworks leads to the conclusion that they were probably tribal enclosures for the safe-guarding of cattle, etc.; that, strictly speaking, they were not military works at all, and, in any case, had no relation to national defence against enemies coming over-sea. One finds in different parts of the country a prevalent tradition that the Romans occupied the more ancient British hill-top strongholds, and the name “Caesar‟s Camp” is popularly applied to many of them. If such an occupation really took place it was, in all probability, only of a temporary character.

It is predicted sea levels could rise by as much as a metre around Britain by the end of the century. This might not sound like much, but here it would mean much of Portsmouth would be lost underwater! Rising sea levels are a pressing concern for our island nation. How did a sea level rise turn the tide of Portsmouth’s fortune? 16,000 years ago (during the last Ice Age) the area we now know as Portsmouth looked very different. There was no harbour here, just a valley with a small river running from Portsdown Hill into the Solent. The Solent was not the great estuary it is today, but simply a river flowing south to join a larger river, called the Channel River, where the English Channel is now. While there were no glaciers in the South of England, much of Scotland was under a great ice sheet.

  • Barnacle Paper.PUB
    Proc. Isle Wight nat. Hist. archaeol. Soc . 24 : 42-56. BARNACLES (CRUSTACEA: CIRRIPEDIA) OF THE SOLENT & ISLE OF WIGHT Dr Roger J.H. Herbert & Erik Muxagata To coincide with the bicentenary of the birth of the naturalist Charles Darwin (1809-1889) a list of barnacles (Crustacea:Cirripedia) recorded from around the Solent and Isle of Wight coast is pre- sented, including notes on their distribution. Following the Beagle expedition, and prior to the publication of his seminal work Origin of Species in 1859, Darwin spent eight years studying bar- nacles. During this time he tested his developing ideas of natural selection and evolution through precise observation and systematic recording of anatomical variation. To this day, his monographs of living and fossil cirripedia (Darwin 1851a, 1851b, 1854a, 1854b) are still valuable reference works. Darwin visited the Isle of Wight on three occasions (P. Bingham, pers.com) however it is unlikely he carried out any field work on the shore. He does however describe fossil cirripedia from Eocene strata on the Isle of Wight (Darwin 1851b, 1854b) and presented specimens, that were supplied to him by other collectors, to the Natural History Museum (Appendix). Barnacles can be the most numerous of macrobenthic species on hard substrata. The acorn and stalked (pedunculate) barnacles have a familiar sessile adult stage that is preceded by a planktonic larval phase comprising of six naupliar stages, prior to the metamorphosis of a non-feeding cypris that eventually settles on suitable substrate (for reviews on barnacle biology see Rainbow 1984; Anderson, 1994). Additionally, the Rhizocephalans, an ectoparasitic group, are mainly recognis- able as barnacles by the external characteristics of their planktonic nauplii.
